Platelets are essential mediators of the physiologic process of hemostasis and pathologic thrombosis. While platelets do not interact with vascular walls under normal conditions, vascular injury or inflammation result in a coordinated series of events including platelet adhesion, aggregation, and promotion of coagulation. In this review, we describe the primary mechanisms involved in these responses in various vascular beds of both macro- and microvessels, and outline key unresolved aspects of these important interactions.

The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells, constitutes the inner cellular lining of the blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and the lymphatic system, and therefore is in direct contact with the blood/lymph and the circulating cells. The endothelium is a major player in the control of blood fluidity, platelet aggregation and vascular tone, a major actor in the regulation of immunology, inflammation and angiogenesis, and an important metabolizing and an endocrine organ. Endothelial cells controls vascular tone, and thereby blood flow, by synthesizing and releasing relaxing and contracting factors such as nitric oxide, metabolites of arachidonic acid via the cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases and cytochrome P450 pathways, various peptides (endothelin, urotensin, CNP, adrenomedullin, etc.), adenosine, purines, reactive oxygen species and so on. Additionally, endothelial ectoenzymes are required steps in the generation of vasoactive hormones such as angiotensin II. An endothelial dysfunction linked to an imbalance in the synthesis and/or the release of these various endothelial factors may explain the initiation of cardiovascular pathologies (from hypertension to atherosclerosis) or their development and perpetuation.

Thrombosis and Bleeding Disorders compiles the laboratory and research aspects of thrombosis and hemorrhagic disorders in humans. This book presents reviews of the underlying theory, physiology, and biochemistry of hemostasis and thrombosis, including the enzymology of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. This compilation is divided into three levels of specific purposes. First is to provide the most reliable and widely accepted laboratory assays of undisputed diagnostic clinical value, which provides newcomers in the field and experienced workers in the coagulation laboratory with a reference manual to everyday work in a clinically-oriented environment. Second is to review and sketch in outline the theoretical sections focusing on mechanisms. Finally, this text aims to include a systematic review of the most successful purification techniques for individual coagulation factors and moieties of the fibrinolytic enzyme system. This publication is beneficial to medical students and clinicians concerned with human blood coagulation.
